ps:  Thanks to "nykfany" for the tip.

"You can rest assured that I am still single. I can fully devote myself to my work and will not get into trouble due to personal matters." Betty, who had no idea what Ito Cheng's words meant, shrugged her shoulders and looked confident with a professional expression on her face. road.

"Me too." Feeling a little thirsty, Ingrid reached out and brought the paper cup with half a cup of water in front of her on the coffee table in front of her. She raised her arm and brought it to her mouth, Nodding in agreement. , then raised his head and drank the water in the cup.

"That's good." Ito Cheng said with a meaningful smile on his face.

Afterwards, Ito Cheng continued to chat with Betty and Ingrid, and it didn't end until Maria, who had gone to prepare the magic contract, returned to the reception room again.

"This is the standard version of the employment contract. Take a look at what needs to be changed." Maria walked up to Ito and sat down next to him. She handed the three magic contracts to Ito, Betty and Ingrid and said.

"Change a few clauses here, here, and here..." After a moment, Ito Cheng, who had read the contract word for word, reached out and pointed on the magic contract.

"How do you want to change it?" Maria nodded and asked, following Ito Cheng's instructions and focusing on what he wanted to change.

"In this way..." Ito Cheng opened his mouth and said the model he wanted to change.

"What do you two think?" Half a minute later, Maria, who had heard what Ito Cheng said, looked at Betty and Ingrid opposite and asked.

"Okay." When Ito Cheng proposed modifications, the two people who also followed his instructions and wrote down the clauses to be modified thought for a few seconds. He nodded in agreement.

"Okay." After getting the two people's consent, Maria did not hesitate, took out the special modification tool and the magic writing pen and started to change the magic contract.

"Look, is that so?" After a while, Maria, who had completed the modification of the contract according to Ito Cheng's request, asked the three of them.

"That's right." Ito Cheng nodded and confirmed, and the other two people also nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"In that case, please take out your badges for confirmation." Maria said as she revised the other two contracts and handed them back to Betty and Ingrid.

The three of them, Ito Cheng, nodded when they heard this, and one after another took out their magic badges representing the level of magicians. Among them, Ito Cheng's badge is a copper badge with the apprentice level, and Betty's is better than the silver badge with the official mage level. A light gold badge representing a one-star magician. Ingrid is polished from a purple spar material similar to crystal, and represents the amethyst badge of a two-star magician.

The three people who took out the badges stamped their own magic seals on the positions belonging to Party A and Party B on the contract, and signed their names.

Maria, who took back the magic contract from Ito Cheng and the others, checked it briefly and took out two badges representing the Firth Agency and her own identity. It was stamped on the magic contract in a place reserved for a third party to sign. and signed her own name.

"That's it. The contract has officially come into effect." After a layer of light blue light flashed slightly on the magic contract, Maria looked at Ito and the others with a smile.

"Welcome." Ito Cheng stood up from the sofa and put his right hand in front of Ingrid with a smile.

"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." Ingrid stood up from the sofa with Betty and stretched out her white palm to hold Ito's right hand together. She smiled charmingly.

"It's a pleasure to work together." After Ingrid, Betty, who also reached out and connected with the hand that moved in front of her, said.

"Are you going to join the job immediately, or should you handle your personal affairs first and officially join the job later." Ito Cheng, who let go of Betty's hand, looked at her and Ingrid and asked.

"Forget it for today, let's start tomorrow." After saying this, Betty shook her head slightly and said.

"I need three days to deal with the trivial matters at hand." Ingrid continued.

"Okay, I'll give you two three days to prepare. After three days, you go to Room 8116 on the eighth floor of [Holiday Inn] to find me." Hearing this, Ito Cheng decided happily.

"Okay." Ingrid and Betty, who had two free days of free time, nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Now, may I have the honor to invite three beautiful ladies to go out for a drink with me." Ito Cheng had a smile on his face, one hand stretched forward, one hand behind his back, and his body leaned slightly. He invited Betty, Ingrid and Maria in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Why not?" Ingrid raised her hand slightly and placed her palm on Ito Cheng's palm and said with a smile.

"Of course." Betty agreed without rejection.

"Thanks to you, I have completed a big order. And accompanying customers to dinner is a necessary social interaction for business, so I have no problem at all." Maria said with a funny look.

"Okay, let's invite three beautiful ladies!" Seeing that all three of them agreed, Ito Cheng straightened up and walked quickly to the door of the reception room. He reached out to open the door and stepped aside to let the door pass. He looked at Beidi beside him. , Ingrid and Maria laughed.

Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other and walked out of the reception room with a smile. But when Maria, who finally left, walked past Ito Cheng, Ito Cheng once again stretched out his evil hand when she wasn't paying attention and pinched her butt lightly.

Maria, who was suddenly attacked by Ito Cheng, subconsciously let out a low cry, and then in the curious eyes of Beidi and Ingrid, she smiled at them and shook her head to indicate that she was fine. When the person turned around and continued walking, he glared at Ito Cheng who had a weird smile on his face.

"It's so flexible!" Ito Cheng, who walked up to Maria, whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Afterwards, Ito Cheng, Betty and Ingrid, who walked out of the Firth agency, waited at the door for a moment, and then met Maria, who deposited the contract in the data room and tidied up a little, and went to the famous restaurant on Merlin Street. Go.

…

"Sigh. It makes you so embarrassed. Why have you forgotten the fact that Britain is the base of the dark cuisine world? Now it's better. I've eaten a lot of dark cuisine..." An hour later, with Betty, Ingrid and Ito Cheng, who secretly left him a contact number and prepared to have a super friendship discussion with Maria, said goodbye to Maria while walking towards the Holiday Inn.

"It seems that we really can no longer have any expectations for the British culinary industry, even in this magical world where magic has become daily, condiments have become magic potions, and ingredients have become monsters!"

After a while, Ito Cheng returned to the hotel room and put aside the boring thoughts in his heart. Enter the Rubik's Cube world and return to your home in the city. After chatting for a few words with his eldest sister, Ito Suzu, he went back to his bedroom and sat down cross-legged, copying the contents of the books he had memorized from the library while he was in the process of copying. Digesting the knowledge in those books.

In copying books and digesting and absorbing book knowledge. Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Phew. Finally done." At this time, Ito Cheng, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, breathed softly and slowly opened his eyes and said.

"A Cheng. You're awake." As soon as he finished speaking, Aye's voice full of happy emotions immediately sounded in his ears.

"Well. When did you come back?" Ito Cheng, who spread his legs and relaxed his body, looked at Aye in front of him with a smile and asked.

"It's been a while since I came back." Yaye said as he moved his body to Ito Cheng's side, reached out to hold Ito Cheng's arm, and rested his head on his shoulder.

"Have you met your sister?" Ito Cheng asked softly, raising his right arm that was not held and gently brushing the bangs on Aye's forehead.

"I saw it." Yaye replied softly, then raised his head slightly, looked at Ito Cheng's profile and thanked him, "Thank you, Ah Cheng."

"Idiot." Ito Cheng, who knew why Aye thanked him, lightly tapped Aye's forehead with his curled fingers and sighed softly.

"I'm not stupid." Yaye raised his hand to cover his forehead and pouted with a cute expression.

"Aye, tomorrow you give Maya the tantra chakra training method I taught you. After all, she has the existence of [Amaterasu] Dragon Gate. It would be a pity if it is so abandoned." He played with it gently with his right hand. Ito Cheng, who pointed Aye's finger, said suddenly.

"Eh? Aren't you asking your sister to practice onmyoji?" Yaye asked a little strangely when he heard this.

"Yes, but there is no conflict between practicing Yin Yang Jutsu and chakra, and with Maya's talent and mind, there is no conflict between practicing the two things together." Ito Cheng explained with a chuckle.

"I'm just a little curious, why did you think of asking your sister to practice Yin Yang Jutsu?" Ya Ye, who recognized his sister Maya's talent and brains, nodded first, and then asked the doubts in his heart.

"Do you still remember the transformation and Qi nourishing technique that your sister often uses?" Ito Cheng did not answer Aye's question directly, but asked rhetorically first, and then continued to explain after Aye nodded in response, "That technique seems to me It is completely the product of the combination of Yin Yang and Qi, so I thought that since your sister can master that skill, she must also have the talent to practice Yin and Yang, so I gave her the family's Yin and Yang classics. She systematically studied the knowledge of Onmyoji."

"That's it." After hearing Ito Cheng's explanation, Aye said with a sudden look on his face.

"Okay, you stay at home for now, and I'll go deal with these newly acquired classics." Ito Cheng said, gently straightening Aye's body, turning over and standing up from the ground.

"Okay." Yaye, whose eyes followed Ito Cheng's movements, nodded and said.

At this time, Ito Cheng's figure flashed and disappeared from Aye's face in an instant.

"Sister, Ah Cheng..." Yaye muttered to himself in a trance, looking at the empty bedroom again.

Ito Cheng, who left the bedroom, instantly appeared in the large laboratory. Then, Ito Cheng called Royd, Erica, Nina, Lakshatta, Seleni, Cecil who was called down from upstairs and Emma who was summoned from the biology laboratory to him. He told about the new batch of magic books he got.

"I will enter those books into the database later. Then you can use your account to log in to the internal website to browse. Then after you have a general understanding of magic, I will formally teach you about it. Magic training skills." Ito Cheng said to the people standing in front of him.

"Besides, Emma and Cecil, you two can read more about potions and increase your understanding of how special potions are made and the refining materials. Lloyd, Nina, Ai The five of you, Rika, Lakshata and Saireni, can read about the magic circle. That special way of using energy may provide some inspiration and assistance for your research." Then, Ito Cheng made a difference. Said to Emma and Cecil, Lloyd, Nina, Erica, Lakshatta and Serene.

"Okay." Cecil and others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I won't disturb your research, let's go and get busy." Seeing that everyone understood, Ito Cheng said, and then he changed his mind and sent Emma back to the biology laboratory, and then he set off and returned home again. .

Ito Cheng, who had nothing to do for the time being, soon started chatting with Aye, his mother Eriko, and his eldest sister Ito Suzu. As for Rena Ito, she didn't know whether she was staying with her good friend Suzuhana Shimohira or doing something else and not staying at home.

In this way, while chatting and watching TV programs, the time passed in the middle of the night. Afterwards, everyone who felt trapped left their seats one after another and went to the bathroom to wash themselves, and then returned to their respective bedrooms to rest.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, time comes to the next day again.

After finishing morning exercise and having breakfast with his family, Ito Cheng said goodbye to Eriko and others, returned to the room in the main world, and then walked out of the room without stopping and left the hotel, rushing to the library on Central Street. After crossing off a certain amount on the universal card, he continued to browse various books and record them quickly while others looked at them as fools and idiots. He did not stop until the time agreed with Maria to meet with the other five female magicians to be hired. As a result, he went to the Firth Agency to meet the five female magicians.

After some conversation, three of the five female magicians to be hired rejected Ito Cheng's offer on the spot. After some haggling, one of the other two magicians was dissatisfied with the final result and left, leaving only the last formal magician named Bella Jackson to sign an employment contract with Ito Cheng.

So far, among the eight applicants who met the requirements, only three mages, Betty, Ingrid and Bella, became Ito Cheng's magic consultants and targets. (To be continued...)
